Well, and I should probably say, Bobert, that I get all of my news from either NPR or the print media (both paper and on-line,) and while I listen every day, read the N&O and check the CNN.com headlines, I'm not an extremely close follower of the news. Since I don't have a television, and haven't had one for the better part of 30 years, I don't see the viseral images that may serve to "bring home" the realities of much of the news, and don't appreciate the impact television has on shaping the news.

Greg, I think you are probably right. I am certainly aware that these groups are out there, but I think I underestimate the numbers of these extremists who are willing to act, and not just spew verbiage, (which is certainly bad enough.)
